The rank field lets you control the priority of items in a listing. Higher numbers have higher priority.
If you'd like to change the order of either the People Profiles or FAQ Questions for a department you can do so by editing the profile or question and changing the number in the Rank field. By default, there is no value, and therefore no rank priority and so items are ordered alphabetically.
If you would like to move either a Profile or an FAQ Question to the top of a list you can do so by entering a higher number into the Rank field, for example, 100. This will move that item up to the top of the list for both the module and any widget displaying information from that module. You can also move a Profile or Question down the list by entering a negative number into the Rank field. Note: Entries that have the same Rank are displayed alphabetically after those that are ranked.
This should only be used to change the order of a few items... for example, moving the principal or superintendent to the top of a listing. If you need to rank many records, we recommend looking at the widgets that allows you greater control over how items are ordered.
